Friends Home and Village

Friends Home in Kennett is a smaller, caring community, with a more home-like atmosphere. They go out of their way to accommodate special needs of residents.

We picked this community, because of the friendly home like atmosphere, great value for the money, and it's so clean. Check out the facility you won't be disappointed. I would recommend to other families.

This is a wonderful place. The community is clean, and has a friendly atmosphere. My loved one is able to still be in independent living. The staff communication has been great and they are quick to respond to our questions and maintenance requests. We are thrilled with our experience at Friends Village. Our loved one is very happy here and this makes the family happy. There are three meals a day served to the residents and there are options to choose from.

My loved one is happy here. My loved one and I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. My loved one is enjoying the meal options. The staff are accommodating to the residents needs and wants. [name removed] and [name removed] are the main aides that support my loved one, and my loved one really enjoys working with these aides. Overall, we find the community to be more caring than a prior community. The room is smaller and the price is better than another community that my loved one was at.

We prayed for the right home for mom. We looked at our 3 options with mom as we knew this would be her new home, not ours. We definitely made the right choice! Mom said "I'm Home" at the end of the tour at Friends Home in Kennett! She has the love, peace, and joy that I haven't seen in a long time after being a widow for many years. All the staff are amazing in how they use their God given gifts and talents to take care of mom and the other wonderful residents! It's nice to see the residents build loving relationship's, and community at this stage of life. It doesn't stop there though, the staff are part of the relationship's which is so encouraging! We are so Blessed that Mom found Friends Home in Kennett as her home until she goes Home to be with her Lord and Savior!

As a professional in the senior living industry, I often recommend this community to my clients and their families. The community is warm, welcoming, and dedicated to resident wellness. They prioritize family, engagement, and wellbeing of their residents and staff. I’ve been very impressed with the leadership team, as well as the associates I’ve met there during my visits. I’ll continue to support and encourage families to consider this community for their loved ones!

Great place to live. Everyone is nice and kind. The prices are super affordable.

Everybody and everything is great at this facility. Have not had one bad experience so far. My mom loves it. Hope it stays this way. Everyone treats us all as if we were family.

Friends Village Newtown, PA has been a very positive move for my parents. The staff and other residents are friendly and kind. Their unit is very spacious and clean. Lots of windows make it light and airy. My senior advisor was very helpful from start to finish. Thank you [Removed].

This community worked out from the start. They are the most affordable for us and they moved us in right away. It has been good for my mom since she moved in. The community is nice and homey. I like that it is simple and not fancy. Everybody you meet is nice and my mom likes. The plus is they are in the neighborhood she is familiar with and her church is nearby too. It was a good move.

We really liked this community. The outside surroundings are beautiful. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. It also has a library which is very important to my mom. We are leaning towards picking this community for mom.

I am happy. with the care that my father is receiving here. the staff is very helpful and attentive to his needs. He is offered to alot of activites to choose from. This is a small community for the residents. They pay close attention to the residents to make sure that they are ok in there own apartments. It is a comfortable enviroment for him. I highly recommend other families to this community for the care and value.

Very good staff, accommodations, food and overall care. I would take my mother here again (she was very happy during her stay), I think that says it all.

We've been very pleased with Friends Home! From the very beginning they worked hard to make our experience a good one. They really try hard to make the resident feel like this is home, they let my loved one pick the colors for the new carpet and paint for the room when they were getting it ready for him to move in! The staff are all incredibly friendly, and very helpful. There is always someone available to provide any kind of assistance you need; rides, getting stamps, directions, etc! They also do a great job with the food. I'd recommend this place to anyone who is looking!

I needed to find a place fast for my Dad after he was discharged from the hospital for a mini-stroke. Norma Coverdale , the Director of Resident Services, was great to work with in getting my Dad transitioned. The staff is superb. Most have been there for many years, which really says something about the environment. The meals are delicious and home-made. My kids love to join their Grandpa for lunch whenever we can. The Personal Care service is awesome. It consists of med management, laundry care, apartment care, etc. I wish more senior care places are run this well. There is something to the Quaker philosophy. I would recommend this place to anyone.

My mom seems to be pretty happy there. They're very friendly. I'm not sure about the value because my mom has a POA and she's taking care of all that. The care seems to be very well. Mom seems to be doing a lot better than before she went in there. She likes the bingo and acutally goes out for walks. I'm not sure if she's gone on the shopping trips yet. I like it a lot. It seems to be what my mom needed. I recommended it to somebody else and they put their mom there.

Very friendly people. Well maintained. Excellent location. Great value. It's a smaller facility so the care is more personalized. When you walk in the door, it feels like you are walking into someone's home rather than a retirement center.

Very friendly place.It is small enough that everyone knows the resident.Mom is well taken care of,

I would recommend this facility to other families. I will say, it wouldn't be the best fit for a resident who likes to stay pretty active. The residents here seem less active and content with kind of doing their own thing or simple things. They do have activities, but they're mostly card games. My mom has mentioned she'd like to have more of a variety, but is ok with the card games for the most part. The staff has been really good. They are friendly and caring, they've been wonderful. The facility is very clean. They do a weekly deep clean, but also check in daily, which is very helpful and appreciated. Common areas are very clean also. It always smells good when I go to visit. The food is good, I've eaten there a couple of times. Mom's only complaint is that the food itself isn't always hot enough. Good value for the cost. I would recommend this facility to others.

I thought Friends Home & Village was a very nice place. [Name removed], the woman who helped us on the tour was really nice. They were our second place runner up choice.
